Yes, also Azul Zing. Really anytime someone says they have a problem with GC and suggests spending a million dollars of engineer time building a new system, they should consider Zing first. It works and is a way more efficient way of spending money to fix GC latency problems.

For a small to medium sized shop, sure. For someplace with thousands or tens of thousands of nodes, the new system ends up cheaper in the long run.
Because GC related issues don't undergo from "problem" state to "solved" state. It is just a never ending stream of issues, that the team need to resolve, specially in a database realm in which metrics are hugely workload dependent.
